Chapter 15 A Good Hand
Zhu Cixuan's words really shocked Emperor Chongzhen.
Even Queen Zhou's face was full of horror. Who would have thought that a 12-year-old child could see everything so thoroughly?
After all, Empress Zhou still felt something was wrong. He pulled Zhu Cixuan over again: "Emperor, tell me what kind of opportunity have you encountered? Why did you become so weird? Is this a good or a bad thing? I don't seem to know you at all. Cixuan, don't scare your mother."
Indeed, Zhu Cixuan has changed so much in the past two months, and it is completely different from each other.
A person's personality changes may be able to hide them from others for a while, but you can't hide them from the people around you, especially your relatives.
They will soon find that you are completely different from before, and it is no wonder that Empress Zhou and Emperor Chongzhen have been wondering if Zhu Cilang had any disease.
Zhu Cilang had to try his best to fool this matter. As for the same sentence, Emperor Chengzu asked for a dream. Anyway, it would be right to push all the things they suspected and all the things that could not be explained to his ancestors.
"After returning to my mother, I didn't know what happened. Even since I went to Taimiao that time, when I saw the portrait of Emperor Chengzu, I often dreamed of Emperor Chengzu. Emperor Chengzu taught me many great principles for dealing with people. The minister suddenly felt enlightened and suddenly became smart. His mind became clear, and many principles he didn't know or understood before now have understood."
Oh my God! Is it really because my ancestors have spirits in heaven to bless my descendants? All this is too incredible.
Chongzhen finally rekindled hope. Perhaps our ancestors of the Ming Dynasty really couldn't stand it anymore, after all, Emperor Chongzhen was indeed unlucky enough.
How unlucky is it? Since Emperor Chongzhen came to power, this natural disaster has never stopped.
The famous Chongzhen drought in history refers to a severe drought that occurred between the tenth and sixteenth years of Chongzhen. Its duration and drought range have not been seen in nearly five hundred years.
The entire Ming Dynasty suffered severe droughts in the south and north. The main areas with droughts and low rainfall were in North China, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Shandong. These areas have been drought for more than five years. Henan Province, where the center of the arid area is located, has been drought for seven years.
Among them, the drought was the most rampant in the 13th year of Chongzhen. The drought incident was in the pattern of drought in the north and flooding in the south in the early stages, and the drought areas were gradually east and expanded in the south. After the 13th year of Chongzhen, the rainfall in the north increased, turning into drought in the north and south. During this period, plagues were prevalent and locust disasters were rampant. The seriousness of the disaster and the widespread involvement were extremely rare in history.
According to the Shaanxi local chronicles, in the first year of Chongzhen, the sky was red like blood in Shaanxi. Five years of famine, six years of heavy flood, seven years of autumn locusts, seven years of autumn locusts, nine years of drought in Xixiang, Lueyang flooded, and all the houses were lost. Nine years of drought in locusts, ten years of autumn crops, and eleven years of summer locusts covered the sky... Thirteen years of severe drought and fourteen years of drought.
In other words, natural disasters occurred when Chongzhen ascended the throne until Chongzhen hanged Coal Mountain.
There is no rain in spring, locusts and wheat are gone, and the plague is going on, and five or six deaths are going on, which is very bad every year. Finally, it is difficult to escape the drought, and the plague comes out again.
Some people say that they died in Donglin, some people say that they died in natural disasters, and some people say that they died in the amount of energy. In fact, no matter which explanation is, it is one of the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
In such an unlucky era, Emperor Chongzhen was thrown into it. How could he not be angry and despair?
This is simply a big joke that God is making with himself. God just dislikes Daming.
Now the ancestors finally couldn't stand it anymore, it was so bullying. So Emperor Chengzu gave Zhu Cilang a dream...
Chongzhen believed: "If you should investigate, you can do whatever you should do. I promised Jinyiwei to kill first and then report power. Whoever dares to stop you will be killed, and no matter what you dare to kill."
A smile finally appeared on Zhu Cilang's face. He was waiting for this sentence from Chongzhen. He took action first and then reported, and the imperial power was granted. Next, he deserved Chen Yan and the three unlucky guys, and deserved it!
Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou believed Zhu Cixuan's seemingly nonsense explanation. Chongzhen even decided to go to Taimiao to worship his ancestors that day and thank his ancestors for their blessings.
With the tacit approval of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Cilang can finally let go. Luo Yangxing has already obtained evidence of the three dog officials, Chen Yan, Wei Zaode and Wang Zhixin.
Next, just order the Jinyiwei to search their homes. Then, the evidence of these three dog officials being corrupt and abused the law will be made public to the world, and the arrogance of the Donglin Party members will be completely suppressed.
Let these Donglin ministers know that there is no Wei Zhongxian and our Jinyiwei. From now on, our Jinyiwei will be your nemesis.
In fact, Luo Yangxing had already spread the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei, who had paid the salary, worked harder. Why? There is a bonus for handling the case?
Didn’t Your Highness the Supreme Lord said that he should keep a close eye on Chen Yan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Zaode, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and the admiral of the East Factory, Wang Zhixin.
These three guys, officials who have close contact with them, write down all the notebooks.
At the same time, they secretly searched for evidence of corruption among the three people and their property purchased in the capital.
I have to admire the efficiency of the case handling of Jinyiwei. As long as Jinyiwei is willing to investigate, there will be nothing that cannot be found.
If you light your waist card, you will not be able to do it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t. Let’s go with me and go to the imperial prison to invite you to tea.
Where is the imperial prison? Come in and lie out while standing. It is said that even if you steal a green onion from your neighbor's next door, you have to get it right.
Zhu Cixuan decided to attack the three of them as soon as possible, but before he started, he still wanted to go to the Cining Palace to see how those grain crops were like.
Zhu Cixuan called Liu Laifu, the eunuch beside him, and the master and servant walked towards Cining Palace.
Liu Laifu was a little weak because he was called by Chongzhen and Queen Zhou to question a second ago, and almost got scared to pee his pants.
"Pan Liu, hurry up, are you a turtle? You bastard, you won't fool me, right?" Zhu Cilan turned around in anger.
Liu Laifu hurriedly followed: "Your Highness, you have pulled out all the flowers and planted all the seeds according to your instructions."
"Then you can make a fool, go quickly."
Liu Laifu also felt that the Crown Prince had changed, became irritable and irritable, and became unpredictable.
When I arrived at Cining Palace, I didn’t expect that Liu Laifu was really a good farmer.
Outside Linxi Pavilion and Xianruo Pavilion in Cining Palace Garden, there is six or seven acres of land, all of which were transformed into arable land by Liu Laifu.
